MUTINoUs CoNvICTs.
Ill-Treatment and Bad Food Drive
Them to Desperation.


KNOXVILLE, TENN, Sept. 27.-For some
reason full particulars of the mutiny Of the
convicts at Coal Greek cannot be obtained.
The Knoxville Iron Company Is very reti-
cent about the affair An inspector re-
turned from the mines yesterday, and says
the troubles have been settled. Last Thurs
day, at the dinner hour, the convicts
refused to leave the mines. They
claimed that the food was SO
bad and the tasks so heavy, that they
could no longer endure it, and that they
would remain in the mines until better fare
and more humane treatment were promised.
The guards would promise nothing and the
convicts refused to move an inch. Every
effort was made to remove them to the
stockade peaceably, but they held out
against threats and entreaties.
GUARDS FIRE INTO THEM.
Then, il is said, the guards fired into
them, wounding several negroes, but this is
denied. At any rate Friday afternoon they
shut off the ventilation and on Saturday
afternoon the convicts yielded The closing
of tho ventilation shaft drove them to
the mouth of the mine and
there they crowded around the
opening, lighting among themselves
for front seats. They endured most ex-
cruciating torture before giving uu, and it
is said several of them were entirely
suffocated when they surrendered. Mr.
Burrows states that everything is quiet and
that he apprehends no further trouble.

LONDON FEIGNs INDIFFERENCE.

LONDON, Sept 27.-The yacht race at
New York excited little interest in Lond2N
except in the city proper, where lars se
crowds assembled early in the evening
around the bulletin boards at the cable
offices, dispensing, however, before the
result was announced. Yachting men
were interested, but the public paid
the Clyde, whore people were keenly inter
ested in the event. betting was in favor of
the Thistle. Cable dispatches were pub
lished in the afternoon saying that the This
tie would surely win
A letter from member of the Thistle's
crew was quoted in which the writer says;
The Americans may boast about the Vol
unteer, but their yachtSmen know that she
has no chance"
The victory of the Volunteer surprised
clubmen, who were awaiting news of the
race. The result will be bitter disappoint-
ment to Scotch yachtsmen.
TO BE BANQUETTED.
GLASGOW, Sept 27-It has been decided
to give the owners and designers of the This
tie, public banquet on their return home,
whether the yacht wins or loses the races for
the Americas cup.
HOPING AGAINST HOPE.
LONDON, Sept. 2S, 5 A. M-The Post be-
lieves that if the wind will blow strong
enough the Thistle will yet win.
The Telegraph says: ''It cannot be denied
that America has SO far maintained the
yachting supremacy which she won thirty
six years ago This cannot be attributed to
any fault in the handling of the Thistle
which was admirably sailed. British
yachtsmen need not lose heart. The Thistle
has still a chance, in the opinion of many
good judges, to win, il fortune will dis
tribute her favors more equally"
The Standard says: st is useless to at
tempt to minimize the defeat. We can at
least take the beating good-temperedly and
congratulate our conquerors upon having
surpassed their previous efforts"
The Ne,os says: ut is not to be concealed
or denied that the result of the race is bit
ter disappointment. We had been led to
expect great things of the Thistle, and the
Americans themselves encouraged us in our
expectations. Our disappointment is all
the greater because, though neither boat
had the right wind for thoroughly good
race, the light breeze prevailed that was
supposed to be in favor of the Thistle. The
Thistle lost in wind of her own choosing.
We may build better boat some day. We
have never built such a one before

two horses in the fight Later information
confirms the first report that the trouble
arose over the death of Jerry Masena, col
ored constable, who had started out to
arrest a white planter named Sanborn.
Several hundred negroes congregated, bent
upon killing Sanborn and his friends. After
the fight Sunday night the negroes dis
persed for the time being, but further
trouble is anticipated. The Houston Light
Guards arrived here today and proceeded
down the river by steamer to Brazoria.
The Parson Guards, Of Richmond, with
Sheritfs Hickey and Wadsworth, of Bra
zoria and Matagorda counties, are at the
scene Of trouble. 1t is thought that these
officers will arrest the leaders of the insur
rection before the militia arrivesn

He Thinks Leland Stanford Should

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2L-Judge Hoff-
man, of the United States District Court for
the Northern district Of California, who sat
with Justice Fields of the United States
Supreme Court, and Judges Sawyer and
Sabin, has filed a dissenting opinion from
those filed by the other Judges in the
matter of the petition of the Pacific
Railroad Commission to compel Leland
Stanford to explain certain vouchers of the
Central Pacific Railroad Company The
unexplained vouchers, it was contended,
would tend to disclose whether any of the
moneys of the railroad company had been
paid out to influence legislation. When the
opinions of Justice Field and Judges
Sawyer and Sabin where filed, declar-
ing that the commission had no authority
TO compel Mr.. Stanford to explain the
vouchers in question, the statement was
made and so published that Judge Hoffman
acquiesced in the decision, but this was

BOND PURCHASES.

WASHINGTON, Sept 27.-There was de-
cided falling off to-day in the sale of bonds
TO the government under the terms of the
Treasury circular of Sept. %, which fact
the officials attribute somewhat to the great
interest taken by the business community in
the international yacht race at New York

of the governments ability to

quired for the sinking fund within the time
prescribed by the circular-Oct 3. Over

cannot have reached Caney creek before

AS TO THOSE MONUMENTS.

Not the least, by far, of the good things
done by the 21st National Encampment was
the emphatic prohibition of any Post or
other organization of the Order participating
in any ceremony connected with the erection
OF monument TO man who was prominent
in the rebellion.
1t is amazing that any comrade should be
so forgetfuI of his duty as a citizen, of the
principles for which he fought, and of the
fundamental ideas of the Order as to take
part in any of these Qualifications of treason.
There is absolutely no defense for it.
Talk about cancellation" determination"
"extinction of sectional hate" IGNORING
brave men who fought for what they believed
TO be right" is wretched sophistry. 1t is a
wicked observation of principles of eternal
right.
No men have done more than the COM
rades of the GAR to extinguish sectional
hate and promote the development of good
feeling among the men who were lately in
arms against us. No men are reader than
we are to admit the bravery and devotion
of these men. But there is q certain hard
and fast line beyond which no veteran-no
man who really loves his country can 20. This
is that the rebellion was utterly and indie
fensibly wrong; that there was never any
reason for beginning the war, and that it
was continued in stubborn persistence in
wrong doing. While We may not hate these
men because they did not know any better
than to begin and continue an unjustifiable
war, which the conscience of the whole civ
ilized world condemns, we certainly cannot
so far forget principle as to extol them be-
cause they did wrong
This, though, is precisely what any man
does who joins in erecting monuments to
Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Albert Sidney
Johnston, Hood, etc: The cause to which
they devoted their great abilities was fla
grantly wrong, a fact which does not depend
upon the say-so of those who were victo-
rious in the struggle, but is the verdict of
the whole world. Even the vanquished say
to-day that their success would have been
an enormous misfortune. What excuse,
then, can there be for clarifying men whose
sole claim for distinction above other men

Nor is this wholly matter of sentiment

fees in order to overcome these men and
